What would explain this observation?
- A handle that feels comfortable to its designer may exclude another user. Design evidence starts with the people and context of use.
- Start with a prediction. State the quantities or features you would compare, then decide what evidence could distinguish two explanations.
Build the model
- Anthropometric data describe body dimensions. Ergonomics 人体工学 concerns the relationship between people, tasks and products. A design specification 设计规格 turns a user need into a measurable requirement.
- ergonomics: Designing the fit between people, tasks and products; specification: Measurable requirements a proposed solution should meet.
Which is a testable requirement?

A testable requirement states a measurable quantity and pass condition, such as sustaining a defined 100 N supervised test load. "Nice" and designer preference cannot be measured or checked against evidence.
Match each technical term to its precise meaning.

Use the definitions to distinguish related quantities and processes.
Choose evidence that can test it
- Choose data for the target population and task. Clearance often needs a larger-user percentile; reach may need a smaller-user percentile. A single mean dimension cannot satisfy every design constraint.
- Observe an approved low-risk task with consent, interview users without leading questions, and record measurable success criteria. Test an early model before committing to expensive materials. Do not collect unnecessary personal measurements.
Which two habits make the investigation or model in this case more defensible?

Stating the conditions and assumptions lets others repeat the work exactly, and recording the supporting evidence lets them check the conclusion. Hiding disagreeing results removes the evidence that could challenge a wrong conclusion, and one measurement can never establish a wider claim.
Work from known quantities
- State the known values and their units. Choose the relation because its assumptions fit this case, then rearrange before substitution.
- Known: a handle must withstand a 40 N use force with a design safety factor of 2.5. Target test load = use force × factor = 40×2.5 = 100 N. The factor is a design assumption to justify; it is not a substitute for a supervised safety review.
A use force is 30 N and selected safety factor 3. Find target load. Use the same sequence: known quantities → model → relation → substitution → unit and interpretation.
A use force is 30 N and selected safety factor 3. Find target load.

The result is 90 N. Known: use force 30 N; safety factor 3. Use target load = use force x safety factor. Target = 30 x 3 = 90 N. The factor is a justified design margin, not a substitute for a supervised safety review.
Check the conclusion and its limits
- A specification is not a list of vague wishes such as nice or strong. User testing should evaluate measurable requirements and reveal conflicting needs.
- Return to the original observation. Explain what the result supports, which conditions it assumes, and one way to test a competing explanation.
A population mean dimension always accommodates every user. This claim is false: Designing for the mean fits the middle of a distribution and excludes the tails - often half the users. Ranges and percentiles, not the mean alone, decide accommodation.
